Fig. 9 The implant sample<br />
The focused 2D and 3D images of the original<br />
tooth sample are observed by means of the digital<br />
<strong>microscope</strong>. These images were both quantitatively<br />
analyzed and also were evaluated in terms of the surface<br />
roughness using the digital <strong>microscope</strong> software.<br />

In this experimental study, roughness measurements<br />
of dental applications were carried out with a<br />
stylus profilometer and a digital <strong>microscope</strong>. Measurements<br />
were repeated for five measurement points<br />
with 1mm intervals on an original tooth, its implant<br />
and other three test implant samples. Each measurement<br />
point taken from both stylus profilometer and<br />
digital <strong>microscope</strong> represent the mean values.<br />

As a non-contact measurement method, the white light<br />
3D scanning system (Steinbichler COMET 5) with the<br />
advantage of measuring fragile and delicate nontechnical<br />
objects was used to capture 3D models and<br />
then make an assessment by measuring the difference<br />
in three axes X, Y and Z (Fig. 12 and Fig.13).<br />

The target is to produce the original tooth analogue<br />
with the implant in order to fulfil successful results on<br />
the patients. Therefore the roughness measurement as
